as far as mk and its competitive history goes you have no idea what you’re talking about. Since MK9? Who would know more about the fgc and the mk competitive scene in MK9, me or you? Tell me past my bedtime?? Your shots don’t invalidate my knowledge and experience on this nor do they make you any sort of true historian on this.
100 players is not going to cut it with EVO’s level of expenses.
You're absolutely right. The EU community will definitely show up if the game is added. The UK scene alone has probably more than 50 heads who show up online and offline and traveling from London to Paris is faster than going up to Birmingham. And cheaper. People will show up for sure.
No amount of players will cover the expenses for 90% of the participants. At the end of the tournament, only eight guys will be getting paid.
Where you at MLG Dallas? No… don’t forget who the commentator was. The original bracket had the capped removed because there were so many people who were trying to attend, so we extended the cap and recapped it. I didn’t make that up, I was literally part of the conversation when the decision was made. You were actually present for any of this yet claim to know so much of it. You say I make shit up? Completely false, especially from someone who has rewritten my competitive history to be absolutely nothing just to prove your point of me being an idiot. I said I was done with MK only to come right back? Spoiler, I didn’t come back. I don’t stream or make videos for it nor have I for quite some time nor do I plan to because I am currently done with MK as it is. Still bringing up the crowd noise? The crowd noise was low, at least what was captured over the stream compared to every other game there. And the only point I was making is that Mortal Kombat is by far considered the least entertaining game to watch of all the competitive fighters. Whenever I say certain things like this, it offends people and they come on here and say that MK is more alive and kicking than ever before. It’s then said that all of this stuff is made up, yet you can come on this form and read thread after thread about how MK was again not included in something or how low the entry count of another tournament is.
The only thing NRS can really do(without us knowing what goes on behind the scenes or what data they have access to that we don't) is continue to improve the game, which they have.
The original bracket was capped at 64 entrants, I was there when the decision was made to extend the cap to what the final number was. So it was capped and then the cap was extended. Even when I’m literally there when the decision is made as staff, you still say I made it up, absolutely ridiculous.
I’m talking about the expenses for EVO itself, not the players.
I literally thought Tom had a stroke for a moment before I figured out that's what was going on.
The "lucky to not be shot dead," may come off a little threatening and idk about all that, but I have been saying, Vulgar is 100% an online persona. He wouldn't act this way in real life, no one would. You'd be mocked or yeah, punched in the mouth, or at the least you'd be the person everyone avoids. He's probably some fucking zoomer or a basement dweller, and should honestly be collectively ignored here so we can have our little corner of the internet that doesn't involve attention craving angsty bitches.
I find it hard to believe that NRS is forbidden from working on the online matchmaking and ranked system. Is WBD really micro managing every task that they devote their time into? Is NRS unable to argue the value of having a modern, functional online environment?
NRS is given a set amount of resources to use. They might not be strictly forbidden from working on those things, but they also might not have the budget for it either. NRS can argue to value of having a modern function online environment, but WB will probably ask "how many more sales/microtransactions does this add?" MK already sells really well, especially compared to SF and Tekken. My guess is WB would argue that those resources would be better spent planning, prepping, and developing the next game.
I agree, and I think we'll get those features as patches and updates come in. Granted, they should have always been there at launch. I don't see them not adding more QoL changes as it goes on.
As if it matters? It’s not like we’re having some meaningful tech discussion. Hell if anything watching the forum look like everyone’s gone nuts is frankly funnier than anything being said
This has been one of my biggest issues with NRS games. But it’s weird, because with both MK11 and MK1, I really enjoyed the betas. With MK11, a big reason I loved it was because of the custom variations. And then after heavily advertising customs, pre-release they said that customs weren’t gonna be in ranked modes or in tournaments. And they didn’t correct this horrible decision (imo), until way too far into the games life.
Jax might be a better Kameo than Ferra/Torr. Javier made Top 8 w/ Scorp/Jax.
Yeah you’re probably right. Scorp/Jax is REALLY good.
Forgot about her somehow. She’s definitely one of the best when it comes to combo’ing off ex bf2, making it technically an armored launcher.
It is now, bitch!
